There's only one problem I have with the project as it stands, and that is Haruki's hairband. There's something fundamentally wrong about the way it is at the moment, but I can't quite place it, nor am I qualified to offer some sort of substitute. : /

Hope Kaisos can get the rewrite working well with Kyonko's unbridled cynicism.

I hope so too.

And as for the hairband, it's not too uncommon.

Kenji Harima from School Rumble has one too. Of course, he looks better with his hair DOWN, but...

Wow, this topic exploded...

If I get the chance, I'll edit stuff you write if you want. My naturalised translation of Suzumiya Haruhi No Yuutsu died in the ass when I got crushed by a metric tonne of schoolwork/depression, but I'm probably up for this.

Don't forget Kazuma Azuma from Yakitate Japan! (and his IS a girl's headband!)

Man, I need to see that. Shonen is so awesome when it takes concepts like bread too far like that.

I'm working on the assumption that it's one of Haruki's anti-alien (or was it pro-alien) measures, like the different hairstyles Haruhi wore before she cut her hair.

Otherwise I may as well say that it's a pair of headphones or something. Which would lend a certain horrible wordplay factor into "Haruhi/ki only listens to what s/he wants to hear".

There's not really a lot of variations I can think of in changing the characters' names, which might lead to a sort of "Kaneda" situation in the days of Ranma 1/2 fanfic (when a ficwriter wanted to gender-bend Akane into a guy, the name used was almost always "Kaneda"). Some of the New Names are too obvious not to use: Yuki becomes Yuuki, and Ryoko becomes Ryou (although I've seen Ryouta).

As for Haruhi, there's the thread favourite Haruki, and I've also seen Haruhiko, which might be doubly confusing due to the differences between "Haru-hiko" and "Haruhi-ko".

Mikuru I've seen rendered as Mitsuru and Mikuru-in-kanji, but for my story I think I'll call him Asahina Minoru.

Itsuki I don't know how to deal with. There seems to be Itsuki-in-hiragana, or Ichihime. I'm probably just going to be lazy and call her Koizumi Mitsuki.

And while I know that "Kyon" should probably just remain "Kyon", I am so very tempted, based on the whole "what nickname Kagami should have" discussion in Lucky Star, to name her "Kyou".

1. Yoichi Hiruma (Eyeshield 21), one of the better leads of all the manga I've read

- Both manipulative, though Hiruma still wins

2. Jan Akiyama (Tetsunabe no Jan), one of my top five favorite characters of all times

- Both quick to anger (Well I'm not sure about Haruhi in the later novels)
- Always ready to show off

3. Neuro Nōgami (Majin Tantei Nōgami Neuro), who's quickly working his way up towards being one of my favorites

- Similar in that nobody can really defy them
- Both manipulative

4. I don't know why, but Luffy D. Monkey (Duh One Piece) came to mind, but maybe that's because I'm running out of examples

- Luffy and Haruhi are similar in that they do things by their own rules and they don't conform to society, plus they're both pretty oblivious to the consequences of their actions in general (i.e. stupid)
